You can configure the alarm delay so that transient desaturations do not give an immediate audible
alarm or visual display. You can also select alarm delay settings of 0, 5, 10, and 15 seconds.

Selectable averaging time enables clinicians to optimize SpO

monitoring for various patient
application areas such as the PACU, NICU, ICU, Telemetry, and Sleep. This reduces the number of
alarms due to real, yet non-clinically actionable rapid desaturations. There are different averaging
times that can be selected (2 to 4, 4 to 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16).
